SBB Stainless Steel Wedge Wire
Short Description:
SBB Stainless Steel Wedge Wire is a precision-shaped profile wire with a wedge or trapezoidal cross section for wedge wire screens, filter elements, screen cylinders and separation systems. SAKY STEEL supplies customized SBB profiles in stainless steel grades such as 304 and 316, with cross-sectional dimensions and tolerances produced according to customer drawings.
SBB Stainless Steel Wedge Profile Wire Overview
SBB Stainless Steel Wedge Profile Wire is a heavy-duty wedge-shaped surface wire used for wedge wire screens, dewatering equipment, centrifuge baskets and industrial separation systems. Compared with standard SB profile wire, SBB profiles use a heavier cross section for applications requiring greater rigidity, wear resistance and load capacity.
SAKY STEEL supplies SBB wedge profile wire in common stainless steel grades such as 304 and 316. Profile designation, cross-sectional dimensions, dimensional tolerance, surface condition and delivery form can be reviewed according to customer drawings and downstream screen-manufacturing requirements.

|---|---|---|
| Profile Design | Standard wedge-shaped working wire | Heavier reinforced wedge profile |
| Section Weight | Lower | Higher |
| Rigidity | Suitable for general screening | Designed for higher-load structures |
| Welding Contact Area | Standard | Larger lower welding section |
| Typical Applications | Food, water treatment and general filtration | Mining, dewatering, centrifuge baskets and heavy-duty screening |
304 vs 316 SBB Wedge Wire
| Grade | Main Characteristic | Typical Selection |
|---|---|---|
| 304 | Good general corrosion resistance with economical material cost | General screening, industrial filtration and dewatering |
| 316 | Improved resistance to chloride-containing and more corrosive environments | Water treatment, chemical processing and demanding wet-service screens |

The dimensions above are general references for the broader stainless steel profile-wire range and should not be used as substitutes for SBB profile specifications.
Custom SBB Profile Dimensions
For custom SBB wedge wire, a cross-sectional drawing is recommended. Profile geometry directly affects welding contact, screen slot design, structural rigidity and finished screen performance.
| Profile Parameter | Information to Specify |
|---|---|
| SBB Type | SBB34 / SBB38 / SBB42 / SBB48 / SBB50 / SBB76 or Custom |
| Working Width | Top surface dimension of the profile |
| Profile Height | Overall finished profile height |
| Lower Section | Rear / welding-side geometry and width |
| Side Angle | Required wedge angle when critical |
| Corner Radius | Radius requirement where applicable |
| Tolerance | Mark critical dimensions requiring tighter dimensional control |
SBB Wedge Wire Manufacturing & Dimensional Control
SBB wedge wire is produced through controlled profile forming and cold working. Processing parameters are selected according to stainless steel grade, profile type, cross-sectional dimensions and required tolerance.
For precision wedge profiles, particular attention is given to working width, profile height and lower welding geometry because these dimensions directly affect screen fabrication and slot consistency.
Inspection & Quality Control
| Inspection Item | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Material Verification | Confirm stainless steel grade and material traceability |
| Profile Width | Verify working-surface width according to the approved profile |
| Profile Height | Check finished section height and dimensional consistency |
| Cross-Section Geometry | Check wedge angle, lower section and other profile dimensions |
| Surface Inspection | Check bright or smooth surface and visible defects |
| Coil / Length Inspection | Verify delivery form, coil condition and ordered length or quantity |
| Documentation | MTC and agreed dimensional inspection documents as required |

SB is a standard wedge working profile, while SBB uses a heavier cross section designed for greater rigidity and higher mechanical loads. Selection should be based on screen design, slot requirement and operating conditions.
What are the common SBB profile sizes?
Common profiles include SBB34 at 2.20 × 5.00 mm, SBB38 at 2.50 × 4.00 mm, SBB42 at 2.80 × 6.50 mm, SBB48 at 3.40 × 6.00 mm, SBB50 at 3.50 × 8.00 mm and SBB76 at 5.00 × 10.00 mm.
Can custom SBB profiles be produced?
Custom profile requirements can be reviewed according to the required working width, height, lower welding section, wedge angle, radius and dimensional tolerances.
Should I choose 304 or 316 SBB wedge wire?
304 is suitable for many general industrial applications. 316 is commonly selected where improved resistance to chloride-containing, chemical or wet-service environments is required.
